Not Cubs related, but if Nate Pearson ends up being really good and Alex Lange & Brendon Little disappoint I'm going to be pretty pissed. Too early to know what will happen and pitching prospects are fickle creatures.

Still, 100 is 100:

Nice to hear good things on defense for Nico Hoerner. I think some scouts before the draft maybe thought he couldn't stick at short because of arm strength issues? He doesn't have a cannon, but it seems like he makes pretty accurate throws.

Not a big deal lol.

That strike percentage from Clark is sexy, given his history. I tried finding some velocity reports for him on twitter, but wasn't having any luck. Last I remember seeing was that he was sitting 92-93ish, rather than the 95-97 that he has flashed before.

He can really throw, but he's just so big, with so much of his weight in his lower half, that I see little chance he stays at third base -- he clearly needs about 12 more days of service to work on that in Triple-A next April.

No Cubs prospects are mentioned in the article.
